For this project, students where instructed on the skills and techniques needed to complete both traditional, database research and online research. Once these skills were conveyed, the students assumed control of how to use these skills to advance the project. The final goal of a PSA, that would be used to inform the school and possibly help the organization (and people served by the organization), provided the motivation for completing a professional product with irrefutable facts and a persuasive message.
The students engaged in a special teleconference event with Vicki Stephenson, the Mission Advancement Director of the The Henderson Settlement (www.hendersonsettlement.com) from Frakes, KY. As a native to the Appalachian area, she shared her first-hand accounts with many of the isues people face.
